Gloucester Guildhall presents an England Pre cup party

28th May 2010

Come and enjoy the biggest competition on Earth for free on the biggest screen in Gloucester! We'll be showing all the England matches on our screen in the theatre and every other game in our cinema or bar.  Come and cheer on the Three Lions in a family-friendly atmosphere. Food and drinks offers will be available so come on over to the Guildhall and enjoy the footie with your mates, family, sports team or whoever in a venue that has plenty of space, the biggest screen going and is right in the centre of town.  You could even send the wife shopping while the match is on.  Result!

Just so we don't completely disrergard our roots we are also happy to announce that local band DiamondFormation have made a world cup song.  Released yesterday,  check it out at here at Gloucester Guildhall on Sunday 30th May when it will be performed live for the first time at our pre-World Cup party.

DiamondFormation launch World Cup single at Gloucester Guildhall pre-World Cup party.

Gloucester Guildhall is the venue for the official launch of local musicians Chris Nicholson and Paul Print's World Cup single SexyFootballBack/England. The pair, calling themselves the DiamondFormation, wrote the song to support England and raise awareness and money for Alive & Kicking, a charity that employs adults in Kenya and Zambia to make sports balls for donation to African orphanages, refugee camps and schools.

Lining up at the Guildhall alongside the DiamondFormation will be football freestyle star Colin Nell giving a demonstration of his talents and showing how to do freestyle football tricks. There is also the opportunity to watch England's final World Cup warm up game against Japan on the cinema screen. Entry is free and doors open at 12:30pm, the England game begins at 1:15pm, and the event ends at 3:30pm. 

Chris, who last week was in Kenya visiting an Alive & Kicking stitching factory, says: "This Sunday should be a fun day for everyone. Football, music, a café, food what could be better? We're hoping people like the single and buy it. In Kenya I saw some of what Alive & Kicking do, and the progress really opened my eyes. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I certainly didn't expect the airy, spacious working conditions. Football is a universal language - like music - and Alive & Kicking is attempting to create a football legacy in Africa, and it is great to be able to contribute in this way."
